Minutes

19 clean sheets in 37 appearances (51% of games). Playing behind a title-challenging side (1st of 20) means a more protected goal, so the read is about command and distribution as much as raw shut-outs.

Strengths

Availability. On the pitch for 97.4% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 100/100).

Watch points

Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

Rated 59.5 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. A near ever-present keeper carrying the gloves this season. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~119), then tapers with age. At 30, Raya sits on 59.5, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Raya's projected Rating — 59.5 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
